Palace supported the move for Rmy, who made only three Premier League starts for Chelsea last season, on Tuesday, with the team comprehended to be paying financing fee of around 3m for the 29-year old. They've an option to buy him next summer. His career, though, began with hometown team, Marseille, where as a 20-year old he began the 2004 Uefa Cup final before Arsenal snapped him up a month or two after. He's also won three caps for France. As he'd been without a team and therefore capable to go beyond the transfer window, Flamini has been contained in the Eagles 25-guy Premier League squad, and will wear the No4 top. The Palace manager, Alan Pardew, said: I believed it was significant to get another midfield player. His playing skill will help us but also his leadership qualities and his skill of the way to win matches in a passing fashion.

I'm pleased that we've procured a player of his prominence. Speaking about his return to the Premier League, Flamini said: Crystal Palace is an extremely ambitious team with great players and I'm looking forward to being part of that squad. It's an extremely interesting challenge for me and I'm really excited to be here. I've had opportunity to discuss the move here with Alan Pardew and he really helped me make my choice. Palace, who have one point from their opening three league matches, see Middlesbrough on Saturday. This is an excellent chance for me and a huge opportunity. It was really crucial that you understand Alan Pardew as he's an excellent manager and I'm happy to be here, said the France international. Alan Pardew included: Loc has been a goal of mine throughout this transfer window and Im pleased the deal was done.

Loc has international and Champions League encounter in addition to really being a Premier League title winner and is the most recent example of the high calibre of players we've brought into the club during this transfer window. Asked if he wanted he'd began the forward, Pardew reacted: I guess in hindsight, when youre just drawing at home. I am able to think of three or four things I 'd have liked to have done, especially in the first half. He didnt take being a replacement badly at all. He realized that it was a tumultuous week for him. It wasnt a punishment. It was only me saying: Youre likely not concentrated, I want to leave you out on this one. His activities have been fantastic for us and it reveals what a great character he's. Arter was criticised by Eddie Howe after his red card, last Sunday at West Ham, led to the late goal granted in the 1-0 defeat. Inquired if his performance had earned him redemption, the supervisor responded: He did very well, he was part of a superb team performance in the first 45 minutes. I was actually pleased with some of our attacking play. First half, you saw everything were about: the rate of our counterattack, the rate of our passing, we did very well. The only disappointment was it likely should have been more than one at halftime. Rmys coming means Palace have strengthened their squad farther after the signings of Christian Benteke, Andros Townsend James Tomkins and Steve Mandanda.

They stay in the marketplace for a central midfielder, with discussions continuing for Genoas Toms Rincn. The south London team are understood to be in talks with the 28-year olds representatives and consider him a possible replacement for the dead Mile Jedinak. Alan Pardew had expected to procure James McCarthy from Everton, though the player is considered to be unwilling to go south. Rincn, the Venezuela captain, was a third choice just for discussions with his team, Genoa, to flounder over a fee. Late enquiries regarding the possible availability of Jonjo Shelvey at Newcastle and Dale Stephens at Brighton also came to nothing. He began just three Premier League matches last season after a string of calf problems and has handled six in all contests this calendar year. In the last of these in April he hobbled away at Aston Villa after 23 minutes with a groin problem. Rmy picked up his latest thigh injury on Monday and although Alan Pardew was initially confident it wouldn't be overly critical, a scan shown they will likely be without the Frenchman for six to eight weeks. Yohan Cabaye, who has been suffering with a minor groin trouble, is also anticipated to miss Saturdays trip to Middlesbrough as Palace seek a first triumph of the Premier League season. Yet the 32-year old would offer Palace another seasoned body in midfield as Pardew seeks to evolve his teams style of play. The south London team submitted a 24-man squad list to the Premier League on Thursday, leaving them one time slot that could be filled by a free agent if conditions can be agreed. An question was stayed with Palace on Monday night regarding the possible availability of Connor Wickham, though Pardew would need to procure a replacement before any price would be considered in this window. Jordon Mutch is fascinating Derby County and could go to the iPro Stadium if Jeff Hendrick leaves the Championship team. Meanwhile, Tottenham returned with a fresh bid worth an first 21m for the England international Zaha. Steve Parish, the Palace chariman, insisted last week the 23-year old wasn't for sale after rejecting an offer worth an initial 12m and they've resisted the most recent effort to entice him away from Selhurst Park. Spurs are understood to have changed their focus to other goals.

During his seven seasonswith the team he helped Arsne Wengers guys win three FA Cups and reach the 2006 Champions League final. Alan Pardew revealed his choice to leave Wilfried Zaha out of Crystal Palaces starting lineup against Bournemouth was down to a belief the 23-year old lacked focus. He commended the forward, yet, for beating his desire to leave for Tottenham and inspiring their recovery in the 1-1 draw that earned Palaces first point of the Premier League season. On Thursday Zaha requested Pardew to enable him to join Spurs, resulting in both the manager and chairman Steve Parish insisting they expected him to stay at the club. I made the choice on Friday [to drop Zaha], said Pardew. Excellent, our player of the year and for me, I'd play him every game. Trust me, I didnt need to leave him outside. But I 'd to understand the pressures that were on him as well. He had an extremely tumultuous week and I believed it was only fair to him to see if we could get through the game, maybe even without him, but we wanted him and he was spot on for us.
